UPDATE: there is now a new version of this cowl available that uses six mini skeins instead of just five! Both files will be available for download upon purchase.

Have you ever heard of brixel art? It’s pixelated artwork on BRICKS - and that’s what this piece reminds me of! Designed specifically for using a set of mini skeins, this is a small cowl, but I’ve included guidance in the pattern for modifying the size so you can use any yarn you like, including a self-striping yarn for even easier colorwork!

PS: there’s a matching hat pattern! Use coupon code BRIXELx2 to save 25% when you buy both patterns!
